I can’t believe I only have one more month here, more or less. It’s crazy that I’ve basically been here since July, save for a week in Miami and Chicago.

The days are getting a lot shorter and I am getting a lot more tired. This is probably because studying characters for hours on end has somehow become a “fun” way to spend my time over here. And ever with hours of studying every day for the past several months, I’ve yet to even come close to being “fluent” in Mandarin. Sure, I can communicate, and read a lot, but I’m still not at the point of near-total comprehension.

Short post, but my dad and sister just came, gotta go.
